Okay, folks, it’s time! A LOT LIKE LOVE is up for the vote in the DA BWAHA tournament, and I could really use your votes. (That Shiloh Walker is some tough competition…) If you could spare two seconds, I would love it if you could click here and vote for A LOT LIKE LOVE. Anyone can vote (international included), and there’s no registration required, no email address required–just two clicks!
Remember, Nick McCall is a very competitive guy. And he wants you to vote, too. : )
Because DA BWAHA time is almost upon us, folks!
Tomorrow I’m going to need your help. . . A LOT LIKE LOVE will have its first match up in the DA BWAHA March Madness tournament of romance novels. I’m up against Shiloh Walker’s If You Hear Her, and that is one tough match-up.
Remember, everyone and anyone can vote. International voters are welcome, and you don’t need to have filled out a bracket or even know anything about this whole darn DA BWAHA thing. All you need is access to the internet (phone, iPad, computer, all of the above) and a desire to see A LOT LIKE LOVE advance in this competition. Or maybe you’re taking pity on me and would hate to see my book get knocked out in the first round. I’ll take it!
We even have a name– Team Love. So join Team Love and get set to vote tomorrow, March 16th, from Noon – 11:59 pm CST.
In the meantime, if you have already, be sure to drop by my giveaway (the post below) and enter to win a $25 Amazon/Barnes & Noble gift card or one of five copies of A Lot Like Love.
Until tomorrow, everyone!
Please note: the giveaway is now closed. Winners will be announced shortly.
Only three weeks to the release of About That Night! Which means it’s time for. . . another giveaway!
As many of you know, About That Night is the third book in what I’m now calling the FBI/U.S. Attorney series. The hero in About That Night, Kyle Rhodes, is a billionaire heir/network security specialist/ex-con. Yep, you heard that right: he went to prison for crashing Twitter after his supermodel ex-girlfriend broke up with him via a tweet. Kyle is first introduced in my previous book, A Lot Like Love, when his twin sister agrees to work with the FBI (as part of a sting operation) in exchange for Kyle’s release from prison.
This week I’m giving away five copies of A Lot Like Love, and a $25 gift card to Barnes & Noble or Amazon (winner’s choice). For those of you who aren’t familiar with A Lot Like Love, here’s a short description:
THE FBI WANTS HER COOPERATION.
As the daughter of a billionaire and the owner of the city’s top wine store, Jordan Rhodes is invited to the most exclusive parties in Chicago. But there’s only one party the FBI wants to crash: the charity fundraiser of a famous restaurateur, who also happens to launder money for the mob. In exchange for her brother’s release from prison, Jordan is going to be there—with a date supplied by the Bureau.
AGENT MCCALL JUST WANTS HER.
As the top undercover agent in Chicago, Nick McCall has one rule: never get personal. This “date” with Jordan Rhodes is merely an assignment—one they’re both determined to pull off even if they can’t be together for five minutes before the sarcasm and sparks begin to fly. But when Nick’s investigation is compromised, he and Jordan have no choice but to pretend they’re a couple, and what starts out as a simple assignment begins to feel a lot like something more. . .

Now for the giveaway part: all you have to do to enter is leave a comment or question below. It’s that easy. One grand prize winner will receive a copy of A Lot Like Love and a $25 gift card to Amazon/Barnes & Noble. Four additional winners will receive a copy of A Lot Like Love. Winners will be chosen at random, and will have the option of choosing either a signed paperback or a Kindle/Nook eBook. Giveaway is open internationally and will run until this Friday, March 16th, at 9pm CST.
One more thing: those of you who are new to the FBI/US Attorney series should feel free to check out my new series page, which includes a series overview, the inspiration behind the series, and some fun profiles of the heroes.
And yet another thing (this is really it, I promise): some of you have probably heard that A Lot Like Love is a finalist in this year’s DA BWAHA competition. (Yay!) The competition is a March Madness-style tournament of romance novels where you, the readers, pick the books that advance. Anyone can vote, so if you liked A Lot Like Love, consider taking two seconds today to vote for it here.) Voting goes until midnight CST, anyone can vote (international included), and there’s no registration or email address required.
Okay, that’s it. Whew. Now good luck to everyone who enters the giveaway!
. . . and possibly win an awesome prize? That’s right, folks, it’s DA BWAHA time again, the March Madness tournament of romance novels! You all might remember DA BWAHA from last year, when–ahem–Something About You won the whole thing.
This works just like the NCAA basketball tournaments: there are 64 books to start, with books being pitted against each other in a “head-to-head” match. People then can vote for the books (and by people, that means anyone!), and the book that gets the most votes advances to the next round. On we go, until we get down to two books and, ultimately, the champion.
As part of the fun, the authors beg for votes and engage in some pretty hilarious trash-talk. (You might all recall the video Mr. James put together last year when Something About You made it to the final round. If you haven’t seen it, you can check that out here.)
A Lot Like Love is one of the finalists this year. (Hurray!) I believe the first round of voting will take place this Wednesday, March 14th. So if you liked A Lot Like Love, and would like to support the book and help it advance to the next round, stay tuned. I’ll post when the vote goes up.
But remember, anyone can fill out a bracket! In addition to being tons of fun, there are awesome prizes at stake. (See the full list of prizes.) Click here to fill out your bracket and join in.
Good luck to everyone who enters, and go Team Love!
